the cat butler
word count: 2.4k synopsis: in which sylus is eager to please you, as always. but this time, as a cat butler. contains: sylus x mc!reader (they're not dating, but sylus is down bad), references to the cat butler trailer, sylus with cat ears and a tail, suggestive themes, mentions of alcohol, cussing, making out, and stalking(?). a/n: i wrote this after reading somewhere that the upcoming memory might be our first-ever kiss with sylus. so consider this a prediction of some sort (probably not gonna happen). also, sylus' cat ears suit him so well. do not plagiarize or copy my work. sylus would not endorse plagiarism. enjoy!
âmy lady,â a rich yet sultry voice calls. you shift uncomfortably in your sleep, wanting to rest a bit more. Â
âmy lady,â the voice repeats firmly. still, you dismiss it by grumbling and refusing to open your eyes.Â
âmy lady.â huh, that's weird. why does that voice sound likeâŚ
âmy lady.â sylus?! you burst open your eyes upon recognizing who was calling you. though, not without a startled "oh, god" because sylus was mere inches from your face. Â
immediately, you sit up, rubbing your eyes and trying to process what was happening. where were you? how long were you out for? and most importantly, why was sylus calling you "my lady?" not that you had any problem with it, but still. your eyes widen as you find yourself on a velvet sofa in a sleek lounge of some sort. extending your arms in front of you, you stare dumbfoundedly at the tight leather gloves enveloping your hands. confusedly, you look down as you pat your body. a silky red, a-line dress hugged your figure, and you couldnât help but admire the strings of shimmering pearls that hung around your waist and neck. Â
hoping for answers on how you got here and why you were dressed so nicely, you turn to look at sylus, who was kneeling on the ground next to the sofa to meet you at your eye level. you canât stop the gasp that leaves your mouth. are those cat ears?!
nevermind the fact that sylus was dressed in a neat, scarlet tuxedo that matched the shade of your dress. nevermind the fact that he looked good in a tieâso good to the point you wanted to tug on it. nevermind the fact that he was wearing a clean pair of white gloves that outlined his fingers so nicely. what was with the cat ears?! and a tail, too?!Â
"uhm" you start. "whatâs with theâŚ?" you point at his head, hoping that he would understand. you couldnât care less about formulating proper sentences. right now, you wanted answers. where were you? why were you dressed so nicely? why the fuck is sylus wearing cat ears and a tail? and why did the caracal set suit him so well?Â
sylus' crimson eyes move up cutely as if he was trying to see the ears for himself. then, they fall back down to you, but not without a chuckle. "they're cat ears, my lady," he answers teasingly. "isn't it obvious?" with that, the ears twitch excitedly. yup, you saw that right. they actually twitched.Â
"holy shit," you mutter as you reach to stroke the ears. "can i?"Â
sylus smirks as he gives you a single nod, closing his eyes to convey that you are more than welcome to touch him. Â
the ears felt incredibly real. the fur was super soft, and you could feel the skin vibrating beneath your fingers. your eyes widen as you pinch the ears gently. they didn't just feel real. they are real. the sheer warmth you felt from touching the exposed skin in the ears told you so. fascinated, you move your fingers to the back of one of the ears to scratch at the fur. sylus purrs and leans into your scratches. you canât help but giggle at the sight. "who's the kitten now, sylus?" you jest, lifting your free hand to scratch his other ear, causing the man to part his mouth and rest his head against your knee. fuck, your touches felt so good. Â
wanting to get actual answers from him, you stop scratching and let your hands rest on your lap. before you can even speak, sylus hisses at the loss of your touch, his brows knitting and a scowl growing on his lips. he grabs both your hands and places them back on his ears. understanding his message, you continue your ministrations, trying to remember certain spots that cats tend to like.Â
"as much as these ears suit you," you coo. "this is really weird. want to tell me what's going on, sylus?" you don't remember him contacting you for a new mission where cat props and formal wear would be involved. heck, you don't remember how you even got here. what exactly was going on? Â
sylus sighs and raises his head back up before answering, "you purchased me, my lady." his amused gaze meets your bewildered one. âwe signed a contract where i would be your cat butler as of today. perhaps you forgot because as soon as you signed the contract, you drank excessively from the bar over there," he juts his head towards the bar behind you. "then, you passed out."Â
what in the actual fuck? did he say purchase? what contract? you donât remember signing any contracts. and since when did you ever drink? no, this canât be right. you don't even recall coming to this fancy place. let alone dressing up so nicely. Â
"you're lying," you nervously say. "there's no one working at the bar, and i don't see any glasses either." for a moment, a look of pride flashes on sylus' face. you always were so observant. one of the many things he loved about you. if only you were more observant of his affection for you instead of being so oblivious all the time. "besides, what's with our outfits? i don't remember putting this on. let alone coming here..."Â
sylus laughs endearingly. his signature, billionaire laugh that constantly stirs up butterflies within you. "trust me, my lady, you drank," he insists, grasping your wrist and pressing a fond kiss. flustered by his actions, you try to pull back, but sylus' grasp remains strong. his sharp gaze locks with yours as he continues. "the dress code here is formal. thus, our attire. you walked in looking like this. a wonderful choice, i must say. you look ravishing, and i am honored to have been sold to you because..." sylus leans in next to your face, his hot breath fanning your sensitive ears. "i wouldn't have anyone else as my master." Â
you stand up immediately, uncontrollably blinking and blushing from what you just heard. unfortunately, you donât realize that you are wearing heels, causing you to stumble backward. sylus swiftly stands up, pulling you to him with an arm around your waist, effectively and attractively saving you from your fall. you place both hands on his broad shoulders, trying to balance yourself and catch your breath. noticing that the two of you were basically conjoined by the groin, you avert your eyes away from him. Â
"t-thanks," you stammer as you try to get some space by pushing at his shoulders. "you can let go of me now."Â Â
sylus tilts his head, looking down at you mischievously and trying to meet your avoidant gaze. "is that a command, my lady?" Â
puzzled by his question, you finally meet his eyes. sylus sighs a hum of satisfaction, relishing in your eye contact with him. "what do you mean command?" you ask. you were too occupied by sylusâ accusations of you drinking to fully capture his previous answers. Â
"it's part of the contract you paid for. i am to obey your every command as your one and only cat butler." the man answers eagerly, as if what he had just said was completely normal. almost as if he was enjoying this. Â
you blink once. then twice before asking, "i paid for this?" you did not like where this was going. Â
"indeed, my lady. five million dollars to be exact. i am quite the expensive cat butler," sylus grins. normally, you would've found his grin cute. some fangs would peek out, and a slight dimple would show. moreover, he was wearing cat ears. which only added to his playful demeanor. but right now, you were mortified because FIVE MILLION DOLLARS?! WHERE DID YOU EVEN GET THAT MUCH MONEY?!
"what?!" you struggle against his embrace. "what do you mean five million dollars? not even a rare protocore is worth that much!" you panic as you think about your savings. did you seriously spend all your savings on a cat butler contract and put yourself into yearsâ worth of debt? oh god, if so, you were fucked. say goodbye to all your years of hard work and saving.Â
sylus frowns at your last statement. "are you not satisfied, my lady?"
with your jaw dropped, you look at the man towering over you as if he had said something, for lack of a better term, dumb. which he technically did because who would be satisfied after spending five million dollars on a cat butler contract?! (me). "yes?!â you say incredulously. âwho in this situation would be satisfied?! you just told me that i blew all my savings and probably even more for a stupid contract!"Â
sylus sighs, pinching his nose bridge with his free hand. while it was one thing to have something related to him get called stupid, it was another to see you so rattled. he had to ease your mind, knowing it would spiral if he didn't act soon. "now, now my lady. there is nothing stupid about this contract. you'd be surprised by the numerous benefits that come with it. which are but not limited to me obeying your every command."Â
you donât know which is worse. the head of onychinus telling you that you spent a sickening amount of money just to see him in a suit with cat features. or the head of onychinus telling you that you were actually benefiting from spending a sickening amount of money just to see him in a suit with cat features. as much as the idea of sylus following orders sounded like heaven, being broke in a matter of who knows how long, or in this case, little, and for a stupid reason at that, was not great. not great at all. your gaze shifts rapidly, distracted with coming up with a solution. "are there any refunds by chance?" you ask meekly.Â
a dangerous look passes over sylusâ crimson eyes. with no ill intent, of course. he could never harbor any feelings of malice towards you. but the idea of you wanting a refund bothered him greatly. he was not going to let you get rid of him so easily. his arm around your waist tightens, bringing you even closer to him. lifting his free hand, sylus curls a finger under your chin, tilting your face upwards to meet his burning gaze. you shiver, forced to drown in his deep pools of rubies. feeling a rush of pleasure from finally having your attention on him, sylus moves his hand from your chin and reaches behind you to caress the blade of your shoulder. you can't help but shudder at the sudden intimacy. why did this dress have to expose your back?Â
"even if my services were terrible," sylus doesn't cease his feather-like touches on your back, causing you to twitch and pant from sensitivity. "there are no refunds," he rasps as he traces a finger down your spine, prompting a whimper from you. enjoying the small yet addictive noises that leave your pretty lips, sylus smirks. yes, this was how it was supposed to be. you, in his embrace where only he could make you feel good and only he could hear your sweet, sweet sounds. Â
"sylus..." you try your best not to moan. "s-stop it." you hide your face in sylus' chest, wanting to muffle your sounds and smother your embarrassment away. "i-i got it. no refunds."Â Â
liking what he hears, sylus ceases his ministrations. he brings his hand back to your chin, gently pulling you away from his chest and slowly tilting your face so that you meet his gaze once more. "i'm glad you understand, my lady," sylus closes in on you, his lips millimeters apart from yours. "you won't be returning me anytime soon." Â
sylus smashes his lips against yours, earning a moan from you. with the hand that was on your chin now cupping your face and the arm that was around your waist tightening some more, the two of you fall back onto the velvet couch. you gasp at the impact, causing sylus to slide his tongue in, capturing your own in a heated dance that he seemed intent on leading. you shakily wrap your arms around sylus' neck, trying to keep up with his relentless kisses. out of the corner of your eye, you see sylus' tail desperately swaying left and right. an idea flashes in your head. as sylus continues to swirl his tongue in your mouth, you raise your hand from his neck and gently tug at one of his cat ears. sylus jerks violently, mewling filthily into your mouth. taking that as a sign of encouragement, you continue playing with his ear, causing him to lose himself more and more in your lips, your scent, your everything.Â
when the two of you grow in need of breaths, sylus pulls away, panting the same rhythm as you. you had no idea how gorgeous you looked right now. splayed out underneath him in tempting attire that was of his signature color. hair disheveled, cheeks rosy, lips swollen, eyes tearyâgod, you were going to be the death of him. tenderly moving a stray hair out of your face, the silver-haired man speaks. Â
"so, what is your first command, my lady?"
extra:
you inhale sharply as you jolt out of bed. what the fuck was that? you breathe rapidly as you take in your surroundings. sighing a breath of relief, you find yourself back in your room and your comfy pajamas. tiredly rubbing a hand over your face, you start to agonize over the fact that you dreamt about making out with sylus. not only that, you dreamt about making out with him in cat ears. why? you're not sure what this says about you as a person, let alone your growing attraction to him. did you have a thing for pet plaâyou don't let yourself finish that last thought. ruffling your hair in frustration, you fall back onto your pillow, determined to recover from that dream. you decide that you are going to avoid sylus for a few days.Â
shifting into a comfortable position, you shut your eyes and wait for sleep to find you, causing you to miss the mechanical crow with glowing red eyes flying away from your window and into the night. sylus, viewing the surveillance screen back at his grand residence, tilts his head in curiosity, a subtle smirk appearing on his lips.
 "what did you dream about, kitten?"

At your side [End of Season 2]
[First] Prev <â-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#wen ning#jin ling#wen qing#jiang yanli#a-yuan#It may have taken a year but we did it! The end of season 2!!!#(Granted: this season was nearly twice the length of season one.)#It's been a really fantastic season to draw for. So many iconic moments! It was a lot of work but I had a blast B*)#I also enjoyed experimenting more and more with my comic style. I'm growing as a comic artist bit by bit!#There is even a little bit of shadowing in this one for next season. As a treat. All the fun (and not heart breaking) scenes to come!#Comic talk time: Recently saw 12 angry men for first time and I love the coincidence of the themes aligning here.#They both touch upon the horror of judicial systems - in which the most persuasive argument wins and the truth is a nuisance.#All it takes is one person to stand against the crowd and say 'I do not know what is true. And that is reasonable doubt enough.'#When the majority is for condemning someone guilty - that in itself is persuasive enough.#One will set their mind to what the 'truth' is and refuse to see it any other way. That their perspective is the only correct one.#No one is born with a monopoly on the truth.#Everyone has biases and agendas. Some care not for the outcome - only that they can be on the convenient side.#Lan Wangji is putting everything on the line to say 'I'm not going to go with the majority vote.'#And that is a huge deal in a story that is so politically focused as MDZS is. Everything is a careful chess move to these sects -#and to not play the game is basically sacrificing everything you are and your families name. For some it is unthinkable.#And there is no doubt in LWJ's mind. He would stand there and lose everything if it means upholding justice.#More importantly - these two have each other's backs. The bond is unbreakable. This is the most ride or die I have seen two people be.

canât help but think of how, if we choose to go by siriusâ characterisation as a private, arrogant teen who only lets a select few into his circle, siriusâ post-azkaban life just have been such an utterly humiliating experience for him.
especially OoTP. when he has all these near strangers in his childhood house, that he hated and loved and ran away from and couldnât ever escape. if he spent his entire pre-azkaban existence building a cold and aloof persona, not letting people know what his home life had been like, then to have all of these people get a front row seat to it because of kreacher and portrait walburgaâs shenanigans must have been near unbearable. to have the entire order, including snape whom he disliked and mistrusted, hear the kinds of names heâs being called.
not only does he have to deal with the retraumatisation of his childhood, but also the fact that heâs flayed open for everyone to see. itâs not only his freedom, innocence, dignity that has been snatched from him but his privacy also. itâs such a cruel thing to experience, on top of everything else.
to have literal children, his godson who he has been kept away from all this while, whom he presumably wants to be able to look up to him, to have him see into the deepest parts of his soul. to have to be so weak in front of him. not only is he subjected to such vileness but he also cannot do anything about it.
sirius has not had a moment of peace in all the time we knew him. it is indignity upon indignity that is heaped onto him. every other character has gotten a moment of respite but him. it fully breaks my heart.
#sirius black#i am in the mood to sob tonight clearly#i just#was reading a fic#where it recounted walburga ad kreacherâs screams and taunts#and it suddenly hit me how humiliating they are?#like#even if itâs an inanimate object and a house elf#to be called an embarrassment and shame of my flesh and filth#by the only remaining members of your family#and to have it be traced back to your family#to know that your mother was alive but did not care that u were in azkaban#and that everyone else knows it too now#to walk around in every corner of your childhood house and be able to see exactly how u grew up#no boundaries no limits#to have other people keep touching parts of your family with the audacity to throw them out#and move it around#to call your home names#i just. cannot imagine.#the level of helplessness he was operating with#is it really any wonder he was the way he was#hell. he was actually so much better than he shouldâve been#lesser men wouldâve been catatonic or going off on a rage fuelled warpath#itâs so embarrassing to have your parent even correct u in front of friends sometimes#and to hear all this abuse. shouted at you.#and not one person ever stands up for him#or shows him any empathy#iâm actually amazed that even after all these years iâm able to find new tragedies in sirius life#HAS THAT MAN NOT BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH#penâs notes

the 'roman slavery was just household slaves not like later plantation/industrial slavery' thing I hear all the time from people irl is going to make me insane for real. it's not their fault they don't know but the fact that this is the general perception of roman slavery is literally so hideous to me. frantically leans into the microphone for 300 dollars who can tell me who the people doing most of the large scale agricultural and mining work were. please. pl
#just had another conversation with someone about this đ i feel like i come off as mean for being so intense abt correcting them but#i just can't stand it. i can't let there be people out there walking around with this misapprehension#thoughts

Jason âmy family doesnât know im aliveâ Todd and Danny âmy family doesnât know Iâm deadâ Fenton going alongside each of their plans my beloved. like Danny will absolutely go head-to-head with all of Gotham to support his new best friend on all his crime lord endeavors while he drags Jason to also attend collage with him. They are roommates and there never seems to a mention of family from either side. Itâs an unspoken understanding they have. They met because Crime alley as a ghost lair thrummed with so much loneliness, it was at first the perfect place for Danny to hide his ecto signature in. But then he saw the dumbass whose lair it was lean his motorcycle just a tad too much when making a sharp turn to an alley, he sweeped the floor through a lifted chain link that passed his body but not his helmet. Yep thatâs right the red thing got stuck. Danny who at the moment happened to be watching through his window snorted. Much to his horror because if not a ghost that dude couldâve gotten his head flung off.
Still, the scene was ridiculous.
On a whim he irrationally sees the police closing in on the guy and panicked at the thought of the guy using intangibility to free himself so Danny phased them both through his apartment wall and left the guy sprawled in his couch. Jason didnât freak out but thatâs normal when oneâs got a concussion, one the guy immediately denied having as Danny laid out the medical supplies. The idiot proceeded to almost flatten four steps to the door with his stubbornness. He also said âIâm asexualâ in the most deadpan voice as Danny dropped him back in the couch.
Danny sighed. Clearly though, heâd done so too early in the night because the guy kept trying to go, kept trying to knock Danny out, kept trying to slash him with knifes Danny didnât know he had stashed. Heâd only disarmed the guy from his guns. The visible ones apparently, cause at one point the guy did take out a gun and shoot until the ammo ran out and then teetered the thing like it was an art prop and hit his moon lamp.
Danny "yeah you arenât officially my friend until youâve tried to kill me" fenton my guys.
Anyways both keep having the same argument over if Danny technically kidnapped Jason or not. Danny holds the fact that the police at least didnât see the guy make the ridicule. Jason argued that happened cause he was sporting a concussion. Danny argued he got that after.
Jason at first thinks the guy's a meta, but no. Danny introduces himself, sheepily now that he recognizes this is who the lair he invaded is from. He bandages him and tries to cook for him. If Danny didnât have ice powers he most certainly wouldâve burned the apartment. Jason then proceeds to kick him out of his own kitchen and make them both enchiladas. Itâs the most normal both had in a while with another person and the air seems oddly settled. From then on, Jason constantly invited himself over, under the pretense that this was his territory and therefore he could drop in unannounced. Danny who has actual powers says he only allows this because Jason cooks very well.
Danny stays away from the crime fighting business unless his buddy is in deep shit he canât get himself out. Also itâs Dannyâs turn to cover for his vigilante friend which Sam and Tucker give him so much shit for. (but also advice)
And they were roommates. (omg) Danny effectively derails Jasonâs big comeback plans by casually dropping ghost lore every two days. Like,
Jason, talking about how he doesnât want Bats snooping on his territory:
Danny: Just donât let them in
Jason: ??
Danny: yeah!! Hasnât Batman died and got revived??? You can totally kick out death touched people you donât want entering on your lair.
Jason: âŚI can?
Danny: Yep dude, your lairâs supposed to feel safe.
Jason: wait does that mean I can kick you out?
Danny: First this is my apartment. Second, im dead, not dead touched. Third, itâs too late to get rid of me. bitch.
Anyways Jason is super excited. You mean to tell him he can actually deny people over to his territory haunt?? (Yes itâs only to people who have died and came back but still!! The sample size is exactly the type of people he doesnât want to seeâ!)
Joker my beloathed canât step foot in Crime Alley.
(Jasonâd feel a lot safer if the clown was dead but the possibility of his murderer turning into a ghost and their little loophole not applying on the clown is too scary to contemplate.)
Anyways, Jason loves experimenting with the power. It can go from simply making people shudder and not want to enter crime Alley to straight up not letting them enter like thereâs an invisible wall blocking the way.
Jason because heâs hurt that Bruce never even patrols Crime Alley and also because heâs petty put B under the category of âinvisible wallâ blacklist. His reasoning is that the man doesnât even attempt to enter Crime Alley. To him itâs surely just a place shadowed in tragedy. (anyways thatâs itâs the place he met Jason)
Ironically, Jason totally forgets that Batman does venture into Crime Alley one day in the whole year. The day he met Jason.
Okay. He didnât forget at first. The first year Jason remembers cause it was only a few months till then but then the nextâ Jason forgets that todayâs the anniversary of the dayâs Bruceâs parents died. He forgets to allow B in when he feels a slight tug and dismiss the feeling that prompts Bruce to investigate because he literally canât enter Crime Alley. He starts the trialsTM, he scouts on the very edge and sees people the whole day enter and get out and cross with no problem but Bruce canât.
Itâs literally just Bruce.
Time to call Constantine, i guess.

Okay, this is my third time trying to put this into words. I am very upset, hurt, and honestly terrified. Iâm about to share a lot about myself, my family, and a very scary situation happening right now, so for my own safety, I wonât provide too many details.
I live in a secondary city in a South American country. The Jewish community here is very smallâaround 5,000 people total out of over 50 million. In my city, which has over 3 million people, there are only about 300 Jews. Weâre literally on the other side of the world from Israel.
We own a family business, a small clothing factory where we make knitted garments. It was founded by my grandmother 48 years ago. My father is the current manager, and both my sister and I work there. We employ around 80 people. We pay fair and legal wages (not the industry standard in my country), and although times are really hard, weâve never missed a payment, not once in our 48 years in business. My father paused his own salary and hasnât received a cent since January, and my sister and I both stopped getting paid for three months. But the people who work with us have always received their salaries as they should.
Now, today, September 30th, (just a couple of days before the start of our high holidays and exactly one week before the first anniversary of October 7th) the biggest and most important public university in my city, in conjunction with the syndicate council, invited the Palestinian ambassador to give a conference about the current situation and the war. Well, apparently, it derailed into open antisemitism and ended up as a conference about how Jews are all thieves and scammers. Because, I kid you not, back in the '90s, a huge group of my countryâs biggest companies went bankrupt and couldnât pay their employees what they owed. One out of about 30 of those companies was owned by Jewish people. So, of course, "we Jews are all liars, scammers, and thieves, just like the Israelisâalways trying to take what doesnât belong to us"
So, what conclusion did they reach at this conference about Palestine and the current war happening on the other side of the world? Well, naturally, they decided to target Jewish-owned businesses in my city (which means our factory and two other small businesses in our area) to protest and vandalize, because weâre all thieves and scammers, and Israel is bad and horrible, and everyone in my city needs to be made aware of that. When are they planning to come? October 7th, of course, when else?
The only reason I even know about this is that one of my Jewish friends decided to attend the conference to hear from the Palestinian ambassador and, risking their own safety, stayed to hear the names of the businesses that are going to be targeted.
I'm hurt and scared and I've been trying not to cry since I found out. These are the people on the left, these we were supposed to be my people, I've marched with them, I've worked and voted with them. I don't know what to do? Please, please tell me how are they different from actual Nazis? How is this situation different from any other jew living in Europe in the 1930's? I guess shannah fucking tovah to me, as if last year wasn't a wake up call. I am fucking awake.
#if you had asked me yesterday i'd said that my city was not very antisemitic#i stand fucking corrected#we don't get to mourn in peace#and we don't get to celebrate our high holidays in peace#i am at a loss#i truly dont know what to do#i have a week to figure it out i guess#nice of them to give us time#this is my last straw by the way#not on the left anymore i guess i've officially been kicked out because im a dirty dirty jew#antisemitism#jumblr#jewblr#jewish#judaism#rosh hashanah#israel#palestine#october 7#october 7th

You ever think about how the Rat Grinders represent what the Bad Kids could have turned out to be if they hadnât found each other freshman year?
Fig, the depressed rocker, all performance
Riz, the highstrung control freak who never found Penny
Fabian, the asshole jock who looks down on dancers
Gorgug, the uncommunicative loner
Kristen, the chosen
Adaine, the unwilling participant in her rich evil familyâs plots
Because I do, and now if youâll excuse me, Iâm going to go scream into my pillow
#some of these are a little bit a stretch but I needed to keep it concise okay and the point still stands#this is of course assuming my âoisinâs fam is evil and heâs not too happy about itâ theory is correct#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#fantasy high#dimension 20#mera speaks#d20#fh#riz gukgak#adaine abernant#fabian aramais seacaster#gorgug thistlespring#kristen applebees#fig faeth#fabian seacaster#rat grinders

For the sake of comedy, I redrew this iconic S1 panel in the S3 style. Better or worse? đđ /s
edit: because i've gotten comments on both this post and the one i shared in the subreddit that seem to misinterpret why i made this, y'all this is meant to be satire, i'm not actually trying to 'outdo' the original panel, it's supposed to look like the S3 art style which looks boring and stiff compared to the original LMAO (I even used S3 panels as the base to work off of when creating this) so yes all the issues with the redrawn version are on purpose, i'm well aware it's not as good as the original and that the anatomy is wack, that just tells me i succeeded because it's p much exactly what S3 of LO looks like JFKDLAJFDASKLJKASLD
#lore olympus critical#lo critical#anti lore olympus#lore olympus redraw#lo redraw#on the one hand I can see how the anatomy became more defined throughout the second and third season#but it wasn't... in a good way#because it became a lot more STIFF too#so much of early LO was iconic for its distinct shape language in the body poses#even if they weren't âanatomically correctâ#but by S3 everyone looks like a static blow-up doll with no body language whatsoever#and when they DO have body language it's just them passive aggressively clapping their hands#seriously there are SO MANY SCENES in s2 and 3 where the characters are clapping their hands together???#once you start to see it you can't unsee it fr#it's like rachel's only pose besides standing like đ§ââď¸đ§

People who say Marius haters are just biased/havenât read the books/simply donât âgetâ his relationship w Armand are always a head scratcher bc then you read the books and youâre like well christ this is actually worse than I was expecting. Going into TVA like here I am ready to absorb the nuances of this dynamic. And then literally every consecutive moment is making it clear how badly Marius sucks
#I mean Iâm not like confused about how people could be intrigued by their dynamic or could find Marius interesting#I get it. but also I think itâs pretty obvious how literally any random person could read that and be like#oh this guy sucks actually#or maybe I just have a deeply embedded (correct) reaction to annoying patronizing men#honestly an instinct more ppl could stand to have. the world would be a better place#armand#tva#tvc#marius

thinking about mithrun dunmeshi who could incapacitate most opponents in hand-to-hand (update: heâs a trained knife-fighter!) but chooses to use extremely fastidious teleportation magic without blinking at how easy it would be to accidentally blow himself or everyone involved, friend or foe, all the way up
(and finding something in all of his lackthereof, to smile about here which only ever happens one more time SPARE me SPEAR me anything love this guy forever)
#itâs more complicated than that but does demonstrate what a monster heâs trained to be to reliably use this kind of magic#hes confident wonât put a whole wall through someone but isn't too pressed about the glaring margin of error#probably wont reappear where someone is already standing and breathing and generally liking not being exploded but you know#i love kuis teleportation magic and what it says about the characters that use it#what it reveals about falins character#and how well it illustrates mithruns lack of empathy#mm#loss of empathy#mmm#loss of social correctness#and#like#heâs lost all desire beyond hunting demons that grin was for us#left eye đ¤đ˝ right eye đ up my husbands skirt#dunmeshi#delicious in dungeon spoilers#dungeon meshi spoilers#dungeon meshi ch 53#mithrun#dungeon meshi

thinking about snarky cultural/theological commentary and. the thing about snark is this: itâs easy, and itâs instant gratification. itâs easy because youâre playing to a likeminded audience. you get the way they think, you know the sort of things they find ridiculous, and so you know whatâs going to play well with them. itâs not that hard to come up with a zinger thatâs going to earn you applause from your own side. itâs also pretty easy to make another human being whoâs not on your side look stupid, because weâre stupid creatures and we all have plenty of exploitable weak spots. itâs preaching to the choir, and itâs preaching meanly to the choir. and then, your snark bears all its fruit right away. you get the glowing feeling of having scored points against the enemy while being patted on the back by your friends for being so brave. if you succeeded in being snarky, you get the rewards of snark that very instant.
on the other hand, seeking to share the truth you possess in a mode in which it could actually be receivedâthat is, says St Thomas, according to the mode of the recipientâthatâs hard, and itâs so far from being instantly gratifying that you may never see the fruits of it in this life. not only are you not thinking about your likeminded audience, youâre not even going to trot out the truth simply in the way you understand it and call it your best effort. rather, you have to try to get inside your interlocutorâs frame of mind and understand how the truth you know is going to fulfill their own priorities and longings. you have to understand them so well that you see the truth of their position, even if that truth is buried very very deep, and then see how that truth connects them to the truth you see. you have to be insightful, and compassionate, and so, so patient. you donât get to score any points, with anybody. your interlocutor might still get annoyed with you and turn around and make you look stupid. but you canât just say âIâm going to speak the truth and I donât care who hears and how they take itââyou have to care how they take it, because the truth is relational, itâs given and received, not just spouted into a void. and frankly you have to care how they take it because you have to care about their salvation.
donât get me wrong, there are times in every personâs life when they will be called to stand up and be counted, to put fumbling words to what they hold most dear even if they canât make everyone understand. but I donât know that itâs a virtue to be always focused on being seen saying the truth, with no consideration given to who hears you and what theyâll hear in itâand itâs certainly not a virtue to be always focused on being seen saying the truth in a mean and funny way. âinstruct the ignorantâ is a spiritual work of mercy. but instruct the ignorant does not mean âinstruct the ignorant while making the knowledgeable laugh and/or high five.â
#obviously thereâs a lot of middle ground between the one method and the other#but I think the middle ground has a tendency (especially on the internet!) to slide into snark#because you want people to know youâre self-aware! you want them to know you have a sense of humor!#itâs very vulnerable to stand up and say the truth in the way you understand it and so itâs tempting to cover it up with snark!#but snark is not a virtue!#YES if Iâm gonna read a long-ass article on theology/culture/politics it helps a ton if the author has a sense of humor#but sometimes otherwise thoughtful and insightful writers go way too far!#too personal too pointed too uncompassionate!#to the point where itâs like. you can technically be correct and still be an asshole#because if your main goal in speaking is to make your friends laugh? you just might be a bully#and I get that thereâs a specific kind of snark thatâs meant to be commiseration between friends. like âyou seeing this shit?â kind of snar#but I just donât know that there is a place for that on a public page on the internet#because the âthis shitâ youâre seeing is usually a human person and they could very well read what youâve written#tldr: you canât abrogate your responsibility to be nuanced and compassionate#cate writes

on the subject of transphobia
can we stop fucking assuming that every nonbinary person is transmasc or transfemme?
this is the biggest peeve I have with this whole transmisogyny vs transandrophobia debate -- y'all are so busy arguing about transmasc vs transfemme and the nonbinary or intersex people who don't identify with either of those terms are completely left in the dirt
let's not create yet another binary, yeah?
#transmisogyny#transandrophobia#i saw someone describing Nex Benedict as transmasc and it left a sour taste in my mouth#correct me if i'm wrong but they were nonbinary and that's all we know#transandrogyny and transneutral exist guys#vent#EDIT: nex is confirmed transmasc now but my point still stands#that people were assuming that before we knew ANYTHING about them
